Importers are reminded that it is their responsibility to ensure that their goods are imported free of biosecurity risks such as stink bugs throughout the year, not just during the period of heightened seasonal measures.

This is of interest to clients in the import and shipping industries, including importers and customs brokers associated with the importation of targeted break bulk and containerised vehicles, boats, machinery and machinery parts that were shipped from the United States from 1 September 2016 to 30 April 2017 inclusive.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact a Seabridge customs consultant on 1800 727 195.
